A faith-based movie edges out 'Straight Outta Compton' to top the weekend box office

In a very slow Labor Day holiday weekend at the multiplex, it's
faith-based film "War Room"
that finally drops N.W.A. biopic "Straight Outta Compton" from
its box office perch.

In its second weekend in theaters, "War Room" tops the three-day
weekend with an estimated $9.35
million. "Straight Outta Compton" took in an estimated
$8.85
million to come in second, according to pro.boxoffice.com.

While the new release this weekend, "The
Transporter Refueled," didn't fare so well. A reboot of the
actioner without star Jason Statham debuted with an estimated
$7.1 million over the three-day weekend. Setting an opening
weekend low for the franchise.

And with this weekend being the official end of the summer movie
season, the film has the dubious distinction of being the lowest
opening weekend sequel of the summer.
